Northern Rock - Shares [Merged Threads]

Think I will wait till they fall below the £2 barrier then buy £1500 worth and forget about them for a year or two is the way to go.

Feel really sorry for any of there employees who have sharesave schemes in place, guessing there will be a lot of sharesaves getting cancelled. Although the upside for any of there employees when the next scheme comes out they will make a killing!!!

The shares will very probably rally tomorrow.
It will be difficult to take advantage of it though, as they will open with a big increase already.

you would need to buy at least £1,000 worth of shares to minimise the cost of dealing and stamp duty.

If you were not living in the UK then would you still have to pay the 0.5% stamp duty?
thanks

It was 10:47 when you wrote that....how did you buy them at that time? Are you even talking about NR shares?

Deal or NoDeal,
Well spotted, those words do look decidedly slimy. I wonder if the stock exchange has picked up on them. Or the customers withdrawing their loot.

If buying shares yes - as the company is listed on the London Stock Exchange.
